(MENAFN- The Peninsula) With the aim of training local treasury, finance and investment officers from corporate and government entities in Qatar, Citibank QFC Branch recently held Bourse Game seminar for the second time in Doha.
The five-day seminar is an intensive introduction to Money Markets and Foreign Exchange which utilises practical learning techniques and promotes a stimulating learning environment.
The Doha version featured eighteen trainees from more than eight major corporations, and covered main money market and foreign exchange topics including structure of rates, FX swaps and interbank dealing, while trainees spent hours on a simulated trading floor learning the finer points of foreign exchange trading.
Theodore Leventis, better known globally as the "Bourse Master" who's been running the Bourse Games for both Citi staff and customers for the last 35 years in over 70 countries around the world, conducted the seminar.
The trading floor was abuzz with activity and excitement as teams representing fictitious banks indulged in foreign exchange trading and money market activity with "traders" in serious discussion over hedging and investment strategies.
The seminar ended with prizes for the top three 'banks' and certificates for all attendees.
"The Bourse Game is part of Citi's mission to answer to clients' needs. It reflects our commitment to training local professionals and teaching them hands-on skills to develop a more insightful understanding of investment opportunity as well as risk, and the way markets work on a global scale," said Carmen Haddad, Chief Executive Officer at Citi Qatar.
